I met many backpackers on the road. Their way of traveling was more than just taking planes, trains and buses.
They often hitchhike.
The trains are: postal vehicles, long-distance trucks, short-haul trucks, local units, empty passenger cars, tractors, etc.
The postal car is the post office car. It is more common in the south, safer by mail, cheaper, and the price is 1/4 of the sleeper trains at the same distance, and even free of charge.
Long-distance trucks are available all over the country. You can walk with the driver as long as you like. If two girls walk together, they are safer, cheaper or even cheaper. The biggest advantage is that the driver can stop at any time and take pictures.
Short-distance trucks, ibid.
The local unit car usually does not spend money. It is an enthusiastic friend who helps you on the road.
Empty passenger cars, such as vehicles from Turpan to Tianchi to pick up guests, and empty cars from Turpan to Tianchi, are not pulled white, so empty cars are comfortable and cheap. The price is 1/2 of the same price. If you look at this 1/2, you can save a lot of money if you travel for a long time.
Tractors, mainly in some mountainous areas, have rough roads and tractors are the main means of transport, such as the Tibet Autonomous Labor Card and Lahu.
1. Why take a ride?
One is convenience, the second is saving money, and the third is understanding local customs.
The train can't stop at any moment to take pictures. Long-distance buses only stay at the scenic spot for a while, and there is no restriction on the train. You can stop at any time.
The drivers of the train usually run this line all year round, and they can fully communicate with them to understand the local people and taboos. Even the driver can introduce you to some local people's homes to stay.
2. How to choose a car?
According to different sections, different situations can be flexibly selected. Long-distance trucks are usually used because they are so fast that they run fast.
If you choose a long-distance lorry, you must not overload the back of the truck. Checked roadsides may not be able to enjoy the roadside scenery. Because you are traveling for long periods of time, you always hope to get to the next stop.
In addition, it is best to take a long-distance truck and sit in the cab. There are two rows in the cab of a general truck. Six people can sit in the cab and the wind can't escape the rain. If you sit in the rear compartment and are bumpy and cold, if the rear compartment is closed (in Tibet, many trucks are closed by green canvas), the scenery on the road will not be visible.
3. How to find a car from the starting point?
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, and other large and medium-sized cities have many long-distance truck freight stations. They can go to these freight stations to find cars. If even these freight stations do not know, they can easily ask a taxi driver who can accurately Land provides you with the names and addresses of many freight stations.
Drivers have different personality and attitudes. The condition of the trucks is different. There are so many cars in the parking lot. It's best to pick a gentle driver and a nice-looking Dadong windmill.
Travel and hitchhiking, do not forget to send two drivers (some cars are three drivers) a little gifts, such as paper fans, notebooks, pens, flashlights, cultural shirts, small animal accessories on the cab, etc. Although these gifts are inexpensive, they can represent your wishes. After the driver’s reception, the driver will pay more attention to you on the road, and even reduce some of the fares.
4. How to block the road?
This situation mainly occurs in remote areas. There are luxury passenger coaches or ordinary buses in various cities in the Mainland or in tourist destinations in the Mainland. There is no need to take a free ride.
However, in Tibet, blockage on the road is common.
Take Lhasa to Ali for example. Lhasa does not have long-distance buses to Ali. The chartered car is expensive and not free, because the driver is in a hurry. The Toyota 4500 is 20,000 yuan per round trip, which takes 20 days. If 5 people are evenly distributed, each person will also need to spend more than 4,000 yuan. There are not many direct trains on this line. We must constantly change trains. Now we introduce the ride conditions of this line as follows:
A. From Lhasa to Shigatse, take the bus 100-120 yuan per person;
B. Shigatse will continue to have free cars to pick up the logs to pick up the guests. These Toyota empty cars are usually parked in the yard of the hotel. There are several hotels in Shigatse. The best conditions are Shigatse Hotels. You can go to the front desk to find out the departure date of these cars. Shigatse The Toyota empty car to Tochigi is about 400-500 yuan/bit;
C. To get off the bus after a certain date, here you can stop to Ali's truck, the price is about 400-500 yuan / person.
D. The cost of free-riding is approximately 1800-2000 yuan per person, which is more than 4,000 yuan per person. This can save a lot of money.
5. Notes on Backpackers
A. If it is a girl, it is best to find a male or female partner to go together, because a girl is inconvenient to go out. However, there is no need to deliberately search for a partner. You may be alone at the time of departure. However, there will be a lot of backpackers on the road. Find a suitable one to go with.
B. Daily wash supplies should be brought together. Bring plastic wash basins, cool clothes ropes, washing powder, slippers, etc. These things are not heavy, but very practical.
C. Bring visors, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. Some places have strong sunlight and must do well to protect them.
D. Bring the letter of introduction of the unit. In remote areas, the letter of introduction is still very useful. Food and shelter are cheap and even free.
E. Take some crackers to prepare for urgent needs on the road.
F. There are no ICBCs in the entire Tibet Autonomous Region, where ICBC's passbook and Peony Card will be meaningless. When traveling, it is best to bring a passbook to the Agricultural Bank of China. The Agricultural Bank has savings offices all over the country. The more remote the local Agricultural Bank, the more popular.
G. Prepare small gifts such as electronic watches, candy, mechanical pencils, etc., and give them to children in minority families. You will be more welcome.
H. Remember to buy a small gift must guarantee quality, do not figure cheap to buy fakes.
